2) Find the download location and run the ScreencastSetup.exe.

3) Go through the setup wizard and follow the installation directions. Accept all the defaults and install the Screencast software.

5) Open Inventor and open an existing document or create a new one. Then go to the Add-ins panel and you can start a recording. If you are having an issue with something crashing, you can select the Launch Screencast before opening or starting a new document by selecting it from the Add-ins panel.
